Sisi ignores al-Jolani at Cyprus summit

Former Lebanese President Michel Aoun was seen shaking hands with Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani at an informal European summit in the Cypriot capital. The encounter contrasts with a reported incident where Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ignored al-Jolani at the same event. Al-Jolani, who leads the dominant militant group in Syria's Idlib province, was a commander in the Lebanese Armed Forces before defecting during the Syrian civil war. The video of the handshake has sparked controversy, with critics recalling al-Jolani's past actions against the Lebanese military.
